That's true, the blue LEDs would ideally have a resistor closer to 4x than 2x when jumping from 3.3V to 5V. I don't remember my original…

Thanks for your reply! Your "roughly double" resistances for 5V vs 3.3V imply that the difference between LED drop and 3,3V is same as 3,3V…

Your right, that would be a great way to fine tune the current for LEDs! You're also correct that the goal of this project was finding the…

Hi there! For the sake of brevity, I didn't go into full detail about how exactly I calculated the 5V resistor values. But in short, I took…

Nice initiative Dryw! But there's something a bit off in the "5V resistor value" calculations, supposedly using Ohm's law. The forward…
